Hey, Fran, Graham Baldwin here.

Hey, what if I told you that there was a single marketing asset that you could use to book tens of thousands of dollars in paid speaking gigs before you even have a website?

Well, that tool exists.

And Dan Irvin, one of the speakers on our team, used it to book over $36,000 in speaking gigs without a fancy website or any social media presence.

Even better, we're going to teach you exactly how

to create that tool for your speaking business in under an hour. For a limited time, we're going to

be offering a free live training on how to build and use this marketing asset to start booking

paid gigs in just a few weeks. If you want to hear more, go to thespeakalab.com slash marketing.

That's what you got to do is go to the speaklab.com slash marketing and we'll see you there.

Hey, what is on my friends? Graham Baldwin here. Welcome back to the speaker lab podcast. We're on

episode one, three, one. And we are glad you're here. We've got a great guest for you today. We're going to be talking with Joe Sannick about using speaking to build your consulting business. Now, this is something I'm really excited about because I know for a lot of people, they want to be full-time speakers, and this is the bread and butter of what you want to do and what you're building. But I know there's also people who'd say, you know, I don't necessarily want to speak full time. I don't want to do 50, 60, 70 events a year. I'd love to do 5, 10, 15, you know, something like that. And use speaking more as a lead generation source for other parts of your business, whether it's coaching or consulting. And so Joe in our conversation today, he definitely shares exactly how he is doing this.

So Joe runs a site called Practice of the Practice where he basically helps counselors and

therapists build their business. And so he does similar to what we do for speakers.

So it's a great conversation. I really enjoy this with Joe. So we talk through how he

uses speaking as lead generation in his

consulting business. We talk about how he used his speaking to grow his business, how he's established

himself as a keynote speaker in a very, very small niche. We also talk about how he transitioned

from full-time employment to full-time self-employment. I think that's going to be really helpful

for maybe you are in a similar spot trying to think through what that transition might look like in your circumstance. So

great stuff from Joe. Hey, let me remind you if you haven't already. We'd love for you to

register for one of our upcoming free trainings where we're teaching all about how to find

and book paid speaking engagement. So if you haven't already registered for one of those,
